Peregrine Falcon Site Occupancy along Delmarva Peninsula, VA (2006-2009)

We monitored the breeding activity of peregrine falcons along the seaside of the Delmarva Peninsula (2006-2009) to determine their influence on the distribution of foraging red knots along the Virginia barrier islands. Twelve breeding territories were used during the study period. Both activity status and productivity varied across sites. Activity status was used to examine the influence of peregrines on the distribution of foraging red knots relative to peregrine eyries. This database contains the results of survey efforts (2006-2009).
